COLUMBIA. Thursday Morai ag, Jane 15, 1865. Teaching and Training. ' Event?, however small, in the lives of children, are things of more vast impor? tance to the race than those leading occur? rences which make the nations anxious. The occurrences of childhood, more or less, involve principles; and these are never insignigcant matters, though they take place in trifles, and relate to sports and toys. A principle is never a small matter. A principle may be regarded as the parent of a thousand dependencies, .which, like other subordinates, would be unruly, were not the governing power there to keep them in order. A fixed principle guides the subordinate thoughts j of the mimi, or they lob it of all sanity. Tims, the power which propels the steam? boat and the stage-which provides a cit}7 ?with bread, or consumes it-is a eiugle power, and only works in these different .ways and for these different objects, how? ever distinct, in obedience to the solitary agency to which they are subject. A prin? ciple impressed upon the child, through the medium of those trifling events of Which his early life is commonly made up, becomes a habit, as much so as the wash? ing his face and hands of a morning. It forms for his government what we call a standard of the mind. By this standard of the mind, whi?jh, as a habit, is familiar and at his fingers* ends at all times, he -is enabled to determine upon his proper con? duct and what he should do, however novel or unusual may be his situation. If, for example, his father has made it a point with him to speak the truth at all times and under every c/rcumstance-as every father should do-if he has tutored him to look upon falsehood as odious and mean, , and upon every form of evasion n6 not only immoral, but unbecoming tomailhood -the boy so taught, in after life may be. trusted safely. We care not in ?what situa? tion you place him, he will never go aside fropi the standards of mind which have been given, however far he may be re? moved from the eye of the parent, and however fur beyoud the reach of parental favor or reproof. Solomon, a very respect? able authority in ancient times, was never more correct than when he said, "Train up the child in the way he .should go, and when he is old he wiil not depart there? from." Mark it-he does not say teach, but train. There is a world wide differ? ence in the meaning of these two words. The world now teaches all and trains none at all._ MEMORIAL TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.-We give below, says the Charleston Courier, the memorial of the citizens of the State of South Carolina to his Excellency the President of the United States, for the appointment of a provisional governor for the State of South Carolina: To his Excellency Andi ern Johnson, Presi? dent of the United States: The undersigned, who have taken the oath of allegiance, long residents of Charleston and other sections of the State of South Carolina, and citizetis of the United States of America, most respect? fully memorialize your Excellency, to obtain the restoration of the civil govern? ment ia this State. The great civil war which moistened 6ur land with blood, ruined our people, and desolated our homes, is at ah end. In good faith, we have renewed our fidelity to the Constitu? tion of*ibe United States. There is no reserved intention to errtbarrsss t?ie autho? rities, or sullen disposition to oppose the Government. The determination is universal to be in spirit and in truth loyal, and lo do all that becomes citizens whose interest is in the United States, to promote the prosperity of their country. The deprivation of civil government opposes the energies of the people, creates distrust, diminishes, if it does not wholly destroy, commercial transactions, and inflicts on the commu? nity lawless speculations in the place of an in vigor ating, legitimate commerce. Your memorialists can effect nothing without the aid of your Excellency's authority. The State has ever continued a part of the great integral-the Union. The peo? ple are disorganized. The appointment <if a provisional governor, with power to reorganiza the State Government, would lead to an earl}- restoration of civil go? vernment, and confer on the people of this State the blessings of peace. Your memorialists, therefore, pray that, some eitizeu of this State be appointed provisional governor of the St?te of South Carolina. And your memorialists will ever pray. Benjamin Wood has retired from the editorial eh arge of the Ne iv York News. He .will be succeeded by the Irish exile and patriot, John Mitchel, a fice gentle? man an! a vsry able vrrittr. Retarn to the TJnicn-Public Meeting. In pursuance of a call of Council for a public meeting of the citizens of Colum? bia and of Richland District, -with the view to the restoration of the State of South Carolina' to the United States, a large and respectable assemblage took placent the City Hall, yesterday morning. On motion of Mr. M. C. Mordecai, Mayor Gibbes was called to the Chair, Mr. An? drew G. Baskin was appointed Secretary, and the meeting was duly organized. The objects of the meeting being then full}' stated by the Chairman, Mr. C. R. Bryce moved that a committee of five be ap? pointed by the Chair to report upon the object in view. The committee consisted of Messrs. (3. R. Bryce, John Caldwell, A. R. Taylor, Edward J. Arthur and W. H. Scarborough, who reported, through their Chairman, the following resolutions, which were adopted: Resolved, That the citizens of Columbia and Richiaud District, respectfully request his Excellency Audrew Jehnson, Br jsident ot the United States, to take such mea? sures as will lead to au earl}' restoration of the titate ot South Carolina to her former relations with her sister States of the F?? deral Republie, and as will restore her people to the enjoyment of their civil and political rights iu the Union and under the Constitution and laws thereof, and re mit them at au.early dfcy to the prosecu- j tiou of their wonted industrial pursuits., j Resolved, That a committee of twenty one be appointed to communicate the foregoing application ia such uiauucr as tncy may find most proper and convenient. Jiesotved, That our feilow-citizeus of the other Districts iii the State, are earnestly invited to'take early action for the attain? ment of tlic above objects, and that the committee appointed under the 6econd re? solution are authorized, to act an a com? mittee of correspondence with them when? ever it may be desirable. . The following gentlemen constitute the committee appointed under the second re" solution: C. R. Bryce, Johu Caldwell, Dr. John Fisher, M. C. Mordecai, A. M. Bunt, Jacob Lyons, E. J. Arthur, Capt. W. B. Stanley, Wm. G ilmore Simms, John Town? send, Wm. F. DeSaussure, E. J. Scott, J. A. CrawforJ, E. L. Kerrison, J. McKenzie, A. R.Taylor, W*. H. Scarborough, ll. Leid iug, C. ll. Baldwin, C. A. Bedell, J. M. Blakeley. . I -HM We ha^e had a sight of the Charleston I Courier, of the 13th iust., from which we gather the items which follow, and which we condense to our limits: The South Carolina Railroad has been turned over to the President-, W. J. Ma grath, who will at once proceed to the re. organization of the several departments. Gov. A. G. Magrath, who has been con- j fined at Fort Puluski, returned to that fortress, b^y special orders of the President, after he had been conveyed by ship to Fortress Monroe. j The Rev. W. B. Yates hos returned to Charleston, whither he hopes shortly to remove the boys of the Marine School, who, tor some two years, have heen en? gaged on a farm school near Orangeburg. We are quite willing that the Marine School shall continue, but could not will? ingly see the farm school abandoned. STEAMSHIP GRANA?A.-The steamship Granada, Captaiu Rodney Baxter, left Brown's Warf. Charleston, for New York direct, at 7 o'clock, on Saturday morning. The following is a list of the passengers: Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Harris, Miss E. A. R'.cCully, A. Gaga and wife, A.H. Locke, T. A. R. Horton, George IL Horton, T. W. ' Chichester, wife and three children, Wm. Gregg, Jr., wife and two children, Mrs. ! Addison and child, E. V. Chichester, one ? white and two colored servants, E. Mottet, ! J. S. Terry, J. Morgan, F. B. Davis, H. A. Middleton. Ralph Izard, A. S. Hull, J. I Purcell, T. Puryear, Mrs. W. M. Campbell and four children, Mrs. Iznrd, Miss Izurd, J. M. Hey ward and son, George Conner, I A. Canale, B. M.

Hiing. j Ourt BANKS -A number of the presi? dents and leading officers of the old city banks huve arrived in townWbr the pur? pose, it is said, of placingThese institu? tions in running order. One or two of the banks can easily do this, so far as capital j is concerned, inasmuch as they sent to I Europe at an early stage of tdie war a i kirge amount of funds and bonds. [Charleston Courier, 10th. i_ Funeral Invitation The friends nnd acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. WM. ELKINS, of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Elkins and of Mr. andMrs. W. D. Hammett, are respectfully invited to attend rhe funeral service? of the former, from bis lalo residence, (Laurel street, near Char? lotte Depot,) THIS AFTERNOON, at 5 o'clock. Xiocal^Ttisxriis. The ofti?e of the Columbia Phoenix is on Gates street, second door from Plain. SCHOO:, FOU BOYS.-Our readers will see, by the advertisement of Mr. Henry Tim rod, that he proposes to open a school for boys in this city on the first week in July. Of Mr. Timrod's perfect competence, no one oan doubt. He is a fine scholar, a classicist, highly accomplished in let? ters, an exquisite poet, and a gentle, mo? dest man. He will not teach as a hod? man, dully, from the mere text book, but thoroughly, and with thought being brought to bear upon the lesson, making it lucid to the youthful understanding. We need not add, surely, that schooling is the' first and last necessity for boys, and those parents are the worst criminals in a com? munity who suffer their sons to loiter about the streets in idleness, losing the most precious days of their lives, and perilling mind, moral, fortune, life itself | -their whole future-in forbidden ways. An idle mind is the devil's workshop, and it is high time we should arrest the prac tice of apprenticing our children to such a master. 'THU CRY I9%TILLTHEY COME."-Colum? bia is decidedly looking up, aa we mny phrase it of one who has been long lying flat upon his back. She is becoming lively, as the prices current phrase it of] herrings in uuirket. Every day adds to. our list of shops opened, and wagons ar? riving with new goods. The reader will sec by the advertisement that Messrs. Zealy, Scott & Bruns have got a large and fresh supply, a various assortment, which the? claim to be able to sell at pries miserably low. We shall see. Mr.'Scott has recently been to Charleston, where he was duly welcomed, and where he made his purchases in person. The more the merrier. In this connection, we may add that people who do not much go about would be surprised, by an afternoon's walk among the ruins, at the number of houses in progress of erection or repair. So should it bc. With the growth of business houses in the town, w,ill be the demand for supplies, and wagons from the country; and, with commodities for?xchange with the firmer, we shall need the less of the circulating medium for the latter. Begin life with but little show; you may find it afterwards. * Columbia Medical Society.
